Deploy and manage complex video with Caton Relay Server

Caton Relay Server is a TS streams management platform that manages your input streams and relays them seamlessly to multiple locations and devices, while monitoring the status of the stream transport.

Caton Transport Protocol (CTP) multipathing is an enhanced feature for the Caton Relay Server. The CRS can now set up 8 x 8 network connections with up to 64 paths for a single transmission. The intelligence of CTP multipathing with traffic shaping capabilities improves the resilience of the transmission over the public internet, even in the most challenging network conditions. In addition, the CRS customises and prioritises the network for different streams based on business needs like priority of service and costing. The newly introduced auto-failover feature within the CRS automatically switches from the primary CRS to the backup CRS in the event of a breakdown. Thus eliminating the need for physical intervention by the network engineer, resulting in a reduced downtime and support resources.

Supporting major industry standards protocols (including CTP and SRT) and with native support for CatonNet Video Platform (CVP), the Caton Relay Server is designed to handle complicated video routing, real-time status, built-in TS analyzers, and stream-level monitoring alert that provides constant information about bandwidth, jitter, up-time and connection status for network operators.

From major sports fixtures and esports tournaments to red carpet interviews and corporate press events, The Switch is always there to turn on your coverage.

In a multiscreen, internet-enabled entertainment world, video feeds must deliver the same reliability and quality for online streaming and social platforms as they do for traditional linear broadcast. In transporting your produced feed – or multiple feeds from an array of venues – via fiber or satellite, we take the same best-in-class approach that we do with the world’s biggest TV broadcasters. You get the established professionalism and back-up you need to ensure that, whatever the complexities involved in livestreaming an event, you have The Switch’s knowledgeable engineers on hand. Plus, we have you covered on all IP transport formats, whether that’s HLS, DASH, RTMP or an alternative. We also support livestreaming via Akamai, Amazon CloudFront and other CDNs.

Taking your feed from venue to viewer is made easier and safer than ever when you trust The Switch to support your live video streaming. You can depend on The Switch’s longstanding reputation for rock-solid reliability as we work hand-in-hand with you to ensure your streaming concepts become a reality. That’s why we are the delivery partner of choice for many of the world’s leading content platforms.

Using Internet Protocols to transport video from stadium to studio is one of the most efficient and cost-effective means of connectivity today. And with The Switch’s global footprint, and quality-first approach, the delivery of your content won’t be compromised.

For the acquisition and contribution of IP video feeds to your production facility, we draw on our first-mile experience and best-in-class IP innovations to give you access no matter what.

We support all major IP Transport protocols, including SRT, BRT, ZIXI, RTP w/FEC, and others.

Using internet connections and leading IP video protocols, we send high-quality signals from difficult-to-connect venues or remote sites to your control room or cloud destination. We provide the on and off ramps to and from the cloud, from The Switch’s first-in-class closed DTM network – transporting live feeds to broadcasters, streaming services and the cloud from areas with a low fiber footprint.

In an increasingly complex media marketplace, The Switch makes it simple. We enable you to deliver your live content, whether for a TV network, online video platform, social media platform, website, cloud service – or all of the above – offering the know-how, world-class equipment, safe hands, scalability, back-up and great service you need.
